Dunedin City Council

You've worked with Health New Zealand when it was a district health board and then post-merger.

You've worked with Dunedin City Council.

I know this because I work for all those organisations that work with you.

You've worked with Silver Fern Farms as well, another big employer here in Dunedin.

here

uh it's hard for graduates to get jobs here even as an intern as well you know we the university and the polytechnics run fantastic uh intern programs the dunedin city council runs um job done which is a fantastic internship program i've been i've bought an interns myself through that program and It's all about the jobs.

And, yeah, we don't necessarily have the jobs here for them, unfortunately.

Yeah, when I was at Dunedin, I had interns every year working for me at Dunedin City Council.

And it's a great program.

And, yeah, I did the same at the hospital.

Nadi is a member of Te Puare Ipukakura, the group responsible for managing the headland.

It's made up of Te Rungana o Otako members, Koroko Karatai Trust, Dunedin City Council and DOC.

Tourism would stop and the whole headland might have to close if H5N1 bird flu caused a mass mortality event here.

Planning for such an event is difficult because it's unclear how the flu will impact different species.

Costing rate pay is nothing in the end for all of it.

Okay, so this whole thing was deliberate bullshit from Uffendale to try and vilify Dunedin City Council's spend on the playground as wasteful spending so that they could justify things like their rates caps, which they bought in place because they were saying things like, you know, rates caps are going to stop wasteful spending.

This wasn't wasteful spending.

It was actually a really good initiative.

And so she spits her time between being, she'd be a good person to interview actually, spits her time between being a psychiatrist and being a lawyer, a professor of community law, I think, medical law in Melbourne.

She let us have 50 grand and we raised another 20 grand from Kickstarter and the Dunedin City Council gave us a couple of thousand and a couple of medical companies like Fisher and Paykel gave us a few thousand.

so on and so on.

And that was enough to pay the editor to pay for the music.

So, yeah, so a very quick sneaky trip to Dunedin turned out not to be so sneaky after all.

But, gosh, it was what an impressive group of people you've got at Dunedin City Council.

These staff are remarkable.

The way that they're, yeah, just quite inspirational, actually.

She was in Wellington in 2002 at the Turnbull Library.

She now works for Dunedin Council.

So I don't know if that's, I don't think she had an exhibition at Osaka, but she might have been involved in some ways.

Someone said, could the key be the card's artwork as they call it on a reverse image search on the picture of the greeting card as Sharon? It's a very good point.

The number of participating councils has varied each time, nine councils two years ago, and seven in the latest one this year.

So the seven were Auckland City Council, Hamilton City, Tauranga City, Hutt City, Haurirua City, Wellington City Council, and Dunedin City Council.

So this year, a total of 5,725 respondents aged 18 years and over completed the quality of life survey.

So that's a significant survey.

Good morning, Ryan.

Dunedin City Council talking about climate change.

Yeah, so the council's looking at spending close to $12 million on climate resilience over the next decade.

It declared a climate emergency back in 2019, bringing its net zero carbon target forward to 2030, but conceded last year that the goal was just unlikely to be met.
